He is just another powerless figurehead trying to get attention.
4. Iran Mullahs:" Axis of Evil"
Benny ,   Iran   (08.22.12)
It is like having a conference with Hitler. Iran's savage behavior displayed by their leadership are to be shunned & admonished by every civilized country. They seek only death & destruction & their demise is nearing fast, just like Saddam, Ghadaffi, etc. They are "evil incarnate" & do not deserve a "lofty" presence for their perpetual terrorist activities..
5. That way
Mira ,   Vienna   (08.22.12)
the Ayatollah can tell him personally that he wants Iran to set up much more terror acts in the West! There is no boundary to naivity!
6. ha ha..even UN chief breaking sanctions !
Khalid Shah ,   Tehran   (08.22.12)
Obama's much trumpeted sanctions against Iran have failed miserably ! Countries like China, Russia, Turkey, South Korea, Azerbaijan, Pakistan are all actively helping Iran easily bypass the half-hearted sanctions efforts. Leading U.K, Swiss Banks such as Standard Charted, UBS & HSBC are also aiding sanctions evasion. Successful use of barter system, routing payment thru tax-havens, smuggling oil & goods across border etc....all effectively nullifying the weak sanctions attempts. Obama is a liar & wimp, only interested in his re-election. Only fools believe him. Sanctions EPIC FAIL !
7. Ban Ki-Moon closing Iran oil deal during visit
Miller ,   Stanford University   (08.22.12)
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon is visiting Iran to close the deal for South Korea to resume oil imports starting September. He will legitimize the ayatollahs in the UN community, be beholden to their annihilation plans of the West, and will promote terrorism worldwide. He's a simpleton and the UN should be defunded of US tax dollars. http://www.timesofisrael.com/south-korea-to-resume-iranian-oil-imports SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The South Korean government and the country’s largest refiner SK Energy Co. said Iranian oil imports will be resumed next month. South Korea got a six-month exception in June to US penalties for importing Iranian oil after Seoul reduced those imports. But South Korean refiners stopped Iranian imports in July after a European Union insurance ban. The companies had relied on EU companies to insure oil shipments. Western sanctions against Iran are meant to derail Tehran’s suspected nuclear weapons program. Critics say major Asian countries’ pursuit of Iranian oil hurts those efforts. SK Energy spokesman Yoo Jung-min said oil imports are expected to resume in September. The company is discussing dates and details with Iranian firms and the government in Tehran. Refiners say Iran may provide tankers and insurance.

9. The Boycott is a Sham.
Essie HaKohane ,   Florida, USA   (08.22.12)
120 countries are meeting in Iran. Ahmadinejad is the president of the N-A movement. To add insult, the UN Secretary General is attending this conference, despite UN boycotts and will not address the nuclear issue with the host county. If the world is boycotting Iran, I would love to see how they give her the red carpet treatment. No wonder why Israel is frustrated; the boycott is a sham.

Another Neville Chamberlain liberal who cannot see reality.
